Nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in Fort Cobb Reservoir
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Development and evaluation of a terrestrial animal-borne video system for ecological research
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Animal-borne video and environmental data collection systems (AVEDs) are integrated sensor systems that combine video from the animal's perspective with data from other sensors (e.g., audio, location). By placing sensor ...
Great Lakes lake trout early mortality syndrome (EMS) : contaminants, thiamin status, and their possible interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Salmonid populations in the Great Lakes experienced a decline in the early twentieth century, presumably due to over-fishing combined with the introduction of exotic parasites such as the sea lamprey. Despite intensive ...
Influence of streambed substrate type and watershed properties on seston algal abundance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this age of growing water quality issues, it is crucial to identify factors which impact stream water chemistry. In the Gulf of Mexico a growing ...
Temporal patterns and variability of trophic state parameters in Missouri reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Eutrophic reservoirs in Missouri, as a group, do not display the bimodal spring and fall pattern of peak algal biomass that is accepted phenology in eutrophic temperate lakes. Instead, Missouri's eutrophic reservoirs display ...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
I developed a series of research objectives organized in a spatial hierarchy to characterize larval fish nursery habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) ...
Movement, habitat use, and spawning characteristics of flathead and blue catfish on the lower Missouri River and tributaries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The movement and habitat use patterns of adult flathead and blue catfish were studied via acoustic and radio telemetry in the lower Missouri River and adjacent tributaries including the Grand, Lamine, Chariton, and Little ...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), ...
Development and validation of standardized sampling protocols for assessing freshwater mussel populations in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Freshwater mussels are among the most threatened aquatic fauna in North America. Given the need for continued monitoring of threatened mussel species, an evaluation of the effectiveness of metrics from visually-based ...
Assemblage structure and shallow-water habitat use by small-bodied fishes at lower Missouri River sandbars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Populations of many native big-river fishes have declined since channelization and flow regulation contributed to losses of shallow-water habitat (SWH) on lower Missouri River (LMOR). Existing point and wing-dike sandbars ...
Enhancing bluegill production through least-cost diet development and novel rearing strategies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Amidst growing demand for large, food-size bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, lack of an affordable, balanced diet and inadequate rearing technologies remain the major concerns of bluegill producers seeking to run profitable ...
